The trueborn units with each get a haemonculi and move to take a forward position to open up their webway portals. Haemonculi number 3 follows along in the incubi unit along with Vect. The incubi will leave behind their haemonculi as he sets up his webway. Creating a webway wall is possible here, in which the third haemonculi when he exits the raider could just join up with one of the trueborn units leaving the incubi and Vect to charge forward with their own pain token.
The Trueborn carry haywire for a couple reasons. If I need to stun a chimera line rd 1, I have that option, as well as creating midfield fire nests of blasters and or splinter cannons in cover. Get behind those webways and protect an objective. Also things like monoliths etc I still have a chance of taking them down via assaults. While not the best tactic with my trueborn, I was looking for flexibility midfield.
The Wracks job is go grab that midfield objective and protect the webways if needed. While the two 20 kabalite warrior groups will be able to keep up their rate of fire on any groups that get de-meched or approach midfield.
Obviously the talos and 2 cronos engines will use the webways. Hopefully they will be creating a few fearless units to hold midfield after they pump up the talos with furious charge and feel no pain.
I am not completely happy yet with the arcane wizardry of the Haemonculi, so I am going to be testing out a few different layouts with them.

With a 2500 local tournament happening at Knightfall Games on the 18th, I will be posting a couple lists out at this level. Mostly Imperial Guard and Dark Eldar since that is what I play the most of. You might see me drop in a 2500 point list though for my blood angels, although I am limited a little on models.
